Testimonials

The Ridge — Weiti Bay

“We were first introduced to Zane and his Ze Build team over 18 months ago. Ze Build had built our daughter and son-in-law's beautiful country home in Wainui. From the first meeting we were super impressed by Zane and his team. Extremely accommodating and many brilliant ideas. The Ze Build team have attended all of our concept and design meetings and given great input right through. We are 2/3 through our build now and they are producing something so unique. Ze Builders have so much attention to detail and so clever. They take great pride in their work. We are building in the gated community of Weiti Bay, every week the properties get inspected by the body corp. This is the only property to have been awarded the "best contractor award", this is awarded for cleanliness, politeness and complying with the Weiti Bay building regulations. In our opinion, very well deserved. Zane and his team make this building journey easy and enjoyable.”

Moreton — Manly Beach

“We take pleasure in providing a reference for Ze Build Ltd. We came to know the company in early 2022 when they were awarded the contract to construct our new home at Moreton Drive, Manly. At today's date they are a little over halfway through the build programme and we have been highly impressed with the quality to this point. In Mark Elliott they have an excellent Project Manager, the Site Foreman Dave Hay is a top man, plus the team of 8 to 10 builders who work well together and always greet us enthusiastically when we visit the site. The principal of the company Zane Dykman is a man of integrity with whom we enjoy working. We anticipate the project being completed late this year or early next year. If things progress as they have to this point, we will reach completion on time without any significant issues.”

Edgefield — Wainui

“We’d been planning this build for over two years, so by the time we partnered with Ze Build, we had a really clear vision — something pavilion-style, open and social, influenced by a holiday we took to Queenstown.

From the start, Ze Build made the process feel personal. Zane and the team were great communicators, honest, transparent and solution-focused. When decisions had to be made mid-build, they clearly laid out the options and gave us confidence that we were always choosing the right path forward.

As a woman working closely with the build team, I felt heard and respected throughout. Every time I raised a question or flagged something, I had their full attention. That respect really matters.

Even with the challenges of lockdown and a few curveballs along the way, they stayed positive, proactive and calm. The quality of craftsmanship is something everyone comments on, and it's those finer details that really make the difference.

Now that we’re living in the home, we love how it feels. The pool is an absolute winner with the kids. We’ve created so many amazing memories here already. It’s just a really beautiful family home.”

Te Wao — Manly

Last year I engaged the services of Ze Build to renovate my home in Manly. After many meetings with Dylan to discuss costings, work and timeframe, they started right on time and launched into what would become a six month job.

Throughout this period I was kept up to date with progress, answered any queries I had in a way I could understand and solved all problems promptly, all done I would come to realise, with their characteristic ease, calm and consummate professionalism. Nothing was hard and anything was possible.

I had the pleasure of interacting with Ze Build builders Logan, Ryan and team, and the exemplary project manager Leesin. Ze Plumb and Gas Anthony and his team. Ze Spark and team. Along the way as would be expected issues arose, but they were all dealt with well, especially as I was out of the country and essentially AWOL for quite some time. I did not worry while gone. I came to rely on their expertise and service, nothing was a problem.

Now that the renovation is complete, I am thrilled with the work done. It pleases me greatly to live in my home renovation that Ze Built.

I have called on them since to hang art for a fussy home owner and lift and plant a big nikau palm, so I still have work to do ….. It is never finished and Ze Build of course are up for it.

I can’t applaud them loudly enough and should I ever do another renovation or build, they will be the first people I call, without hesitation. I have loved working with the entire team.

Thank you. Nga mihi nui.

Laurence — Manly Beach

“We have been working with Ze Build on a regular basis, they have completed several works for us. We are extremely pleased with the quality of work and professionalism demonstrated by Ze Build throughout both projects. For our Lawrence Street property, Ze Build added an extension to our existing house. The house was prepared and then moved to Taupo Bay where they renovated the existing dwelling and added a new addition to the property. Throughout the entire process, Ze Build demonstrated a strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the final result. They also completely landscaped the property, which has significantly enhanced its visual appeal, and added a driveway turntable which has made access to the property much more convenient.”

Karepiro — Stanmore Bay

“Karepiro Drive is a commercial block of units. Ze Build upgraded a 3-unit commercial block to a 9-unit commercial block with a single residential unit upstairs. Once again, their work was of an extremely high standard, and they demonstrated excellent project management skills, ensuring that the project was completed on time and within budget. We were particularly impressed with their ability to work around the needs of our tenants, ensuring that disruption to their businesses was kept to an absolute minimum.

Overall, we would highly recommend Ze Build to anyone in need of a quality building company. Their work is of the highest standard, and they demonstrate a commitment to customer service that is truly impressive. We look forward to working with them again on future projects.”

Large Matakatia Bay Renovation with new top level added and pool

Hobbs — Matakatia Bay

“When we looked to embark on our large renovation, we spent a long time on the due diligence of selecting the right builder that we could work with and who really understood what we wanted to get out of the project. From the initial meeting with Zane and follow up meetings with the team, various trades etc we were impressed with the commitment and proactive approach to understanding exactly what we wanted. Right from those initial meetings it was clear that Ze Build shared our enthusiasm and wanted to work with us to make the project a success. We spent a long time going over the approach, timings, and costings, working with our architect to ensure there was a clear view from all sides on what we wanted to achieve, what was practical and how we could manage our budget. Zane and the team worked patiently and helped give solutions to move forward with confidence.

Upon commencement it was clear that the due diligence and working together had paid off. We have a great team on the build with Blake Mackay overseeing the work onsite with the team of Will, Josh, and Scott. Our project manager, Leesin Stockman keeps everything finally tuned and most importantly for us communicates regularly and proactively on activities and especially around decisions and adjustments, we couldn’t have asked for a better fit to working with us. What has also been extremely good is the interactions with the various subcontractors, our BMH Earthworks team led by Nathan, the Ze Spark and Ze Plumb team have all connected really well and every time they are on-site they are coordinated, they know us and what our project is all about. Even external trades know our core team from various works, or being local on the coast and it has made it a very smooth process.

From our initial meetings with Zane to everyone else involved we continue to be impressed at the professionalism and commitment to the outcome, the work is done to highest standard, the pace is fast and most of all we feel very there is a real team approach in working with us. The trust and respect in the Ze Build team has meant we have been able to live onsite throughout and they have accommodated that seamlessly without the project plan or works being impacted.

Definitely a great team and we are proud to have worked with the Ze Build family.”

Daniel Brown, Wild Property Group

“Zane and the team at Ze Build can be described as ‘market leaders’ and ‘bucking the trend’ within the Central and Northern Auckland building industry. Having now completed multiple projects alongside the team at Ze Build I feel I am qualified to suggest that they could not have chosen a more appropriate slogan; Building solutions from A to Z”.

“Ze Build cannot be faulted. They did our entire street post flood rebuild. The most hard working, conscientious, respectful team of builders I have ever experienced. The time they take to make sure the customer is listened to and all our needs and changes met. It was like having family. The workmanship is second to none. I am thrilled with my house. Thankyou so much.”

“After receiving a few quotes from other builder, Ze Build was the BEST price and we were blown away by the quality and the team was great too. They rebuild our old deck into a new stunning usable deck all ready for summer. Highly recommend them for any renovations!”

Aaron Blankenbyl

“We used Ze Build to convert our garage into a bedroom, bathroom and lounge and they’ve done a very tidy job. I chose them because Zane was so onto it. He was the fastest of all three builders to get back to me and also rearranged other jobs to fit me in. In terms of price he was on parr with the other quotes. The build itself was managed very well, finished on time and the end product is what we’ve expected. There were no cost overruns and he hasn’t charged me for extra/small upgrades which was very kind. Like with every build we had small issues but when I brought this up with Zane he was very accommodating to rectify the problem immediately at no cost and found a solution. You can tell he wants happy returning customers and he’ll make sure that you are 100% happy with their work. I would use them again.”

Steve Houghton

“We employed Zane to demolish our plaster home and build a new home on our cliff top site in Whangaparaoa. We were very impressed with Zane’s professionalism, communication and honesty. His team are highly skilled, conscientious and their workmanship was exemplary in what was quite a complex architectural build. We appreciated their commitment and hardwork in helping us achieve our dream home.
Particularly beneficial we found that with Zane’s large team he was able to provide extra builders as and when we needed them in order to keep the build on track.
We highly recommend Zane to any prospective client.”
